Seal - A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics

rate me

<BR>

There's an old friend<br>

That I once heard say<br>

Something that touched my heart<br>

And it began this way<br>

<br>

I was born by the river<br>

In a little tent<br>

And just like the river<br>

I've been runnin' ever since<br>

<br>

He said it's been a long time comin'<br>

But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah<br>

<br>

He said it's been too hard livin'<br>

But I'm afraid to die<br>

I might not be if I knew what was up there<br>

Beyond the sky<br>

<br>

It's been a long, a long time comin'<br>

But I know my change has got to come, oh yeah<br>

<br>

I went, I went to my brother<br>

And I asked him, "Brother<br>

Could you help me, please?"<br>

<br>

He said, "Good sister<br>

I'd like to but I'm not able"<br>

And when I, when I looked around<br>

I was right back down<br>

Down on my bended knees, yes I was, oh<br>

<br>

There've been times that I thought<br>

I thought that I wouldn't last for long<br>

But somehow right now<br>

I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on<br>

<br>

I tell you that it's been a long<br>

And oh it's been an uphill journey, all the way<br>

But I know, I know, I know<br>

I know my change is gonna come<br>

<br>

Sometimes<br>

I had to cry all night long, yes I did<br>

Sometimes<br>

I had to give up right, for what I knew was wrong<br>

<br>

Yes it's been an uphill journey<br>

It's sure's been a long way comin', yes it has<br>

It's been real hard every step of the way<br>

But I believe, I believe<br>

<br>

This evenin' my change is come<br>

Yeah, I tell you that my change is come<br>

<BR><BR>
